When I was little, my mom caught me picking my nose and told me that princesses don't pick there noses. I don't think I've picked my nose since then. Maybe that'll work on your friend?

Probably just stress. Anything you know of that might be causing him stress? Family issues or a lot going on at work?

I might be a bit late to the party and this might get lost in the greys, but it's important (ok, no it's not, it's superficial) and I need help:

Confession:I have a wedding board on Pinterest. It's actually kind of fun to have one. You can look at pretty wedding dresses, look at other people's gorgeous weddings, see all the cool diy things people do for weddings, see cute wedding pictures, I like it a lot.

Sorry if I got a bit defensive. There was just a whole bunch of people who were claiming that this was common and normal in Europe. Which wasn't correct and it was annoying to see all these people insisting on something that wasn't true. And some people were even defending the practice of attempting to swindle…

It's a practice that happens at tourist places. It is NOT common in Europe. There are people all over the comments trying to claim that this just happens in 'most' of Europe. They're full of shit. My parents worked in restaurants in Europe and travelled around Europe. Never worked at a restaurant that did that, never…

Stanovan Benchiano got proven wrong and is now cranky about it.

IT is NOT common in Europe. It is common in some touristy places, mostly Italy and apparently Spain.

German here. That is not the norm. WTF was wrong with that guy?

Thank you!

I already wrote this once, but apparently it needs to be repeated:

Not everyone in Europe. My parents worked in restaurants in Germany and my mama is German. Complimentary bread was common. And if it wasn't complimentary, it would not just 'appear' on your table. If something wasn't complimentary, you would have to order it.

I wish my parents fought like Brangelina :(

Actually, studies have shown that girls do better academically in all girl's schools than they do in co-ed schools (for some reason boys do the opposite so you may want to keep your boys in co-ed schools) so she gets the added benefit of a better education too.

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry you guys have to deal with that all the time.

Yeah, so that's already been discussed in some of the other comments. If you read further into the thread, I even comment again:

Can't edit my post anymore, but I would like to amend my statement. Apparently, American publications do the same thing to British people.

I have no problem with people using their own countries/regions spellings and terms for things. That's perfectly normal. Like Gawker Media is based out of New York City, so it makes sense that they use American English. It just annoys me when publications change quotes to fit their own accent. Like someone changing…

Hmm.... I wasn't aware of that. I guess I thought because they leave in certain terms like mum that they were leaving the quotes as is. I find American publications doing it equally annoying. I think it's silly to erase people's different dialects. It's not like Americans don't understand what British people are…

Yes, I mentioned that in my comment as a possibility.
